1) Acai Burn Premium

2) Acai Burn Edge

Also, there are a lot of hot new exclusives coming on over the next 7 days so expect some changes through August!

One week on from the official launch and it is great to see that we already have affiliates joining and running campaigns and that we have already received a small level of coverage on marketing blogs, websites and forums:

(Bear in mind that just over a week ago, we didn’t appear on Google at all!)

We have some great plans for widening our marketing reach and are always on the lookout for new ideas, so feel free to contact us if you think you can help!

Now the network is officially open and tested and all-singing, all-dancing, it is time to commence with the initial basic marketing plan to cover April.

Obviously, the marketing budget (which will eventually be controlled by affiliates) is not yet in place (as no profits have been made as yet) and so we are setting aside a small budget to get started.

To summarise, the first phase of marketing (April) will consist of the following:

1. Issue Press  Release Detailing Launch
2. Secure Content On Blog Networks
3. Ensure Social Bookmarking Sites Pick Up On the News
4. Announce Launch On Marketing Forums (with paid posts where necessary)
5. Securing Banner Ad Space On Affiliate Marketing Sites/Blogs
6. Pay-Per-Click Advertising (Adwords, Adcenter, Yahoo)
7. Announcing The Launch To Members Of Our UK Network
8. Secure A Dedicated Forum At One Or More Of The Larger Affiliate Forums

So, we will report back on the results of this initial plan with a marketing report in May, including traffic statistics.

Wish us luck!
